Except then, i only had my Amiga 500.  Used to get all my PD stuff from Amilight in South Perth.

Yes I remember the fellow who ran that joint.  We had him and who could forget old computerman in Mt Lawley.  The guy was crazy and hated time wasters.

Was he the guy who used to advertise in ACAR? We bought our CD32 from him in Jan 1995. What ended up happening to him?

Yes he did advertise in ACAR, either a full back page or inside the front cover with a small strip.  He closed the store down a few years ago.  After the Amiga died off he sold PC parts but the place was always a mess.  Would have been a few gems in that store when it closed.  He had a couple of PET machines sitting on a shelf for years, all probably sitting in a shed now somewhere rusting away!

Off Topic. A small thread-hijack, but maybe you Australians can help me out.

Edit: Finally got in touch with the guy, he was out of town (and that can be pretty far out in Australia, I guess  :lol: )

I can understand the feeling about the bidders who disappears after winning the bid, it sucks. It isn't easy to bid at ebay, when you have a low feedback, just because there are tons of those who raise the bid and never buy or pay. I agree that no negative feedback is unfair, no, wait, it's insane.
I don't like to use ebay, but getting most of things to my amiga has been nearly impossible without it.

Already tried that, phone number was disconnected.  A total waste of space and a time waster however eBay now allows these types to function and exist!

Hey Jimbo,

Did you have Two 1411's to sell mate ? I noticed you had one listed and then another today with "Buy it now". I snapped up the "Buy it now" drive. The listings looked exactly the same so I just want to make sure.

I certainly did have two to sell!

Now since eBay stopped sellers leaving negative feedback it's hard to tell who is serious and who is a time waster.

Many people these days take notice of comments left against Ebay transactions so there is nothing stopping you from leaving a positive feedback rating and a scathing non-paying bidder scum type comment.

Yes I thought about that but it just seems wrong to give someone postive feedback for being a {bleep}tard!
